Abstract

Breast milk or mother’s milk is the best source of nutrition recommended for babies from birth to 6 months of age. However, low breast milk production remains a barrier to exclusive breastfeeding, including at RS TK II Pelamonia Makassar. Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) is known as a natural ingredient believed to increase breast milk production deu to its active compounds. Identifying how the non-pharmacological implementation of Sauropus Androgynus (katuk leaves) can increase breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This case study used a descriptive method with an observational approach on normal post partum mothers from day 2 to day 7. The intervention involved administering 300 grams of katuk leaf clear soup daily for three consecutive days. The study subjects included two postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria: normal postpartum mothers 2–7 days postpartum, primiparous postpartum mothers, postpartum mothers with insufficient breast milk, infants who refuse to breastfeed, and mothers aged 20–35 years. This case study showed a significant increase in breast milk production: Subject I from 9 ml to 78 ml, and Subject II from 13 ml to 86 ml, in addition, there was an improvement in milk output indicators, such as milk leaking, calmer infants, and increased urination frequency. The non-pharmacological use of Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) increased breast milk volume in both postpartum subjects. This result suggests that katuk leaves may serve as an effective natural galactagogue. Further research with a larger sample and control group is recommended.

Abstract

Labor pain is a common physiological response but often causes physical and emotional discomfort, especially in the first stage of active labor. One non-pharmacological method than can be used to reduce pain is the Lamaze breathing technique. This case study was conducted to determine the application of Lamaze breathing techniques on the reduction of pain during the active phase of the first stage of labour. a descriptive case study research methodology that focuses on one of the main issues in the selected case. Inclusion criteria: Mothers in active phase 1 labour with moderate to severe pain, mothers who are responsive or in good general condition with vital signs within normal limits, mothers under 35 years of age, primiparas/multiparas, mothers with cephalic presentation. Exclusion criteria: Mothers in active phase I labour with multiple pregnancies, malpresentation, haemorrhage, high-risk pregnancies accompanied by conditions such as pre-eclampsia, heart disease, asthma, premature rupture of membranes, pelvic abnormalities. The results show that both respondents experienced a decrease in pain intensity after applying the Lamaze breathing. The mothers appeared calmer, able to control their breathing, and reduced tension during contractions. The Lamaze breathing technique is effective in helping to reduce labor pain and is worth recommending as a non-pharmacological intervention.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease that increasingly affects individuals of productive age and contributes to cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart failure. This study aimed to examine the association between physical activity, coffee consumption, and hypertension incidence among productive-age adults at the Godong I Community Health Center, Grobogan Regency. Objective is to find the relationship between physical activity and coffee consumption with the incidence of hypertension. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 99 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and blood pressure measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test with a significance level of p<0.05. Physical activity (p=0.001) and coffee consumption (p=0.008) showed significant associations with hypertension incidence. Both physical activity and coffee consumption are significantly associated with hypertension among the productive-age population.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a form of joint inflammation caused by the accumulation of urate crystals, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Non-pharmacological therapy such as soursop (Annona muricata) juice, which contains antioxidants and xanthine oxidase inhibitors, may help reduce uric acid levels. This case study was conducted on Mr. A, a patient with gout arthritis living in Palasari Hamlet, Sukahurip Village, Ciamis. The intervention consisted of daily soursop juice administration for five consecutive days, with monitoring of uric acid levels and pain symptoms. After treatment, uric acid decreased slightly from 8.7 mg/dL to 8.6 mg/dL, accompanied by reduced pain and swelling. Although the reduction was minimal, soursop juice showed potential as a safe, low-cost complementary therapy for gout arthritis management in family settings.

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder that remains a major public health concern, particularly in areas with high pollution levels. One of the most frequent nursing problems among asthma patients is ineffective airway clearance caused by mucus retention. Effective cough training is a non-pharmacological nursing intervention aimed at facilitating secretion removal and improving respiratory function. This case study evaluated the effectiveness of cough training in improving airway clearance in an asthma patient treated in the emergency department. A descriptive case study design using the nursing care process assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation was applied. Data were collected through interviews, physical examinations, observations, and documentation for two days. The intervention consisted of deep nasal inhalation for four seconds, breath-holding for two seconds, exhalation through pursed lips for eight seconds, followed by a controlled cough. After two days, improvements were observed in respiratory rate (from 26 to 22 breaths per minute), oxygen saturation (from 90% to 95%), and mucus expectoration. The patient was able to perform the technique independently after education and guided practice. These findings indicate that effective cough training is a simple, evidence-based nursing intervention that enhances airway clearance and oxygenation and should be integrated into emergency asthma care to prevent complications.

Abstract

The Emergency Department (ED) requires rapid and accurate evaluation of patients’ clinical conditions to support effective triage and timely intervention. The Canadian Triage Acuity Scale (CTAS) classifies patients based on clinical urgency, while the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) assesses physiological parameters to detect early deterioration. Evidence on the relationship between these tools remains limited, particularly in Indonesia, and discrepancies between them may result in undertriage or overtriage, affecting patient safety. This study aimed to determine the relationship between CTAS levels and NEWS scores among patients in the ED of RSUD Umar Wirahadikusumah. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 307 patients selected through simple random sampling across different shifts. Data were collected using CTAS and NEWS assessment sheets and analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed a statistically significant but very weak positive correlation between CTAS and NEWS (r = 0.184, p < 0.001), indicating that higher CTAS levels tend to be associated with higher NEWS scores, although not consistently. The presence of undertriage and overtriage reflects inconsistencies between clinical judgment and physiological assessment. These findings suggest that CTAS and NEWS assess complementary aspects of patient acuity, and their integration may improve triage accuracy, reduce misclassification, and enhance patient safety in emergency care.

Abstract

Nursing professional education represents a transitional period from academic learning to clinical practice, The high academic and clinical demands place students under significant pressure, increasing the risk of academic burnout. Addressing academic burnout requires effective coping strategies, including reflective practices such as reflection on action. This study aimed to determine the level of reflection on action, the level of academic burnout, and the relationship between the two variabels. A quantitative method with a descriptive correlational approach was used. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and Pearson correlation, as the data were normally distributed. The results showed that both reflection on action and academic burnout were at a moderate level. A significant negative correlation was found between reflection on action and academic burnout (p = 0.005; r = -0.378). This indicates that higher levels of reflection on action are associated with lower levels of academic burnout among students. Future studies are recommended to include larger sample sizes and more comprehensive research design.

Abstract

This study examined the association between exposure to fitspiration content and physical activity and body image among adolescents at SMPN 2 Cimalaka. Using a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 195 students aged 11 to 14 years through a validated questionnaire assessing fitspiration exposure, activity levels, and body image. The results indicated that exposure to fitspiration content was prevalent, with 86.7 percent of respondents reporting exposure. However, a substantial proportion of adolescents still reported low physical activity, accounting for 59.5 percent, and low body image satisfaction, accounting for 76.4 percent. Statistical analysis using the Chi-Square test found a significant positive association between fitspiration content exposure and physical activity, with a p-value of 0.001, suggesting a potential association with increased physical activity. However, fitspiration content exposure was not significantly associated with body image, as indicated by a p-value of 0.120, suggesting that factors beyond social media content play a more substantial role in shaping self-perception. This study highlights the need for comprehensive health interventions that integrate media literacy and support psychosocial well-being to further promote positive active lifestyles and body image among Indonesian adolescents.
